A still life by Belgian artist Gustave de Smet, 'Three Flowers in a Vase' features expressive brushstrokes and muted colours, capturing a serene and intimate scene.

Gustave de Smet (1877-1943) was a Belgian painter associated with the Fauvist movement. His work often explored themes of domestic life, portraits, and still life, characterised by simplified forms and expressive colour. De Smet's artistic journey took him through various styles, but he is best known for his contributions to Flemish Expressionism. He developed a distinctive style that blended elements of Cubism and Expressionism. 'Three Flowers in a Vase' exemplifies de Smet's approach to still life. The painting depicts a small vase holding three flowers, set against a textured, off-white background. The flowers themselves are rendered with loose, expressive brushstrokes, their petals a mix of yellow and orange hues. A single green leaf provides a contrasting element. The vase, decorated with floral motifs, sits on a yellow surface, possibly a table. The composition is simple, yet the application of paint creates a sense of depth and texture. The colours are muted, contributing to a serene atmosphere.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Gustave De Smet

When war broke out in 1914, De Smet and his friend Frits Van den Berghe fled Belgium together for the Netherlands. The flight transformed both painters. In the Netherlands, exposure to the Bergen School and to Leo Gestel's work converted De Smet from an Impressionist into an Expressionist. He returned to Belgium in 1922 a different artist. He was born in Ghent in 1877. His father Jules was a decorative painter and photographer. He attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent from 1889 to 1896, then joined the artistic community at Sint-Martens-Latem, where he, Constant Permeke and Van den Berghe became the three founders of Flemish Expressionism, the second Latem School. After the war, he settled in Deurle in 1927. His mature paintings depict farmers, fishermen, popular entertainments and working-class women, composed as geometric, puzzle-like arrangements of coloured shapes that fuse Expressionism with Cubism. Village fairs and circus scenes recur frequently, treated with a formal rigour that lifts them out of genre painting into something more structural. His palette, brighter than Permeke's and more structured than Van den Berghe's, gives his Expressionism a decorative quality that softens without weakening the formal discipline underneath. He died in 1943, at sixty-six.
